Thanks guys. These comments make good sense in retrospect. I was going to wait until I had used it for awhile, however, it may be better to do a 'first impresssions' review, and then add to it as issues arise (Or not :D )

This is probably a really stupid question, but does anyone on this forum make stuff to order? The reason I ask, is that in my collection of Billiard memorabillia, I have a lovely set of 19th century Ivory billiard balls. I have purchased a few old ball boxes (To suit 3 balls), but none of them...

Hi guys. Just to let you know that after receiving your advice, I have read the Rowley book. And have booked myself a days tuition with a local RPT member, who is also going to give me advice on how to spend my filthy lucre. I am hoping to get some equipment to practise the basics, and then...
